I love the rain. I think it isn’t a coincidence that I was born in October. Nothing is never a coincidence anyway. Don’t you think? I’ve been thinking about this month for a whole year. I love the begining of Autumn. If you don’t live in Galicia (or Ireland) you probably don’t really get why I love it so much. That smell of wet…well, everything! is so intoxicating. As soon as the season changes, the…
“Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields” 馃崜 What’s better than a fresh ripe strawberry in your mouth while the sun is shining? I’ll tell you what…wild strawberries! I’ve always been a fan of wild strawberries. I remember my grandpa used to give them to me when I was a kid because they grew in the backyard of his country house (where I live in). The years went by and my fixation…
Hey! How’s your April going. Mine has become a hectic month. I’m getting ready to record a music video, while we are quarantined. Which means there’s only two people doing the job of a whole team. Which means: Stress levels going up. But I must say, I’ve been training for this kind of situations. Not quarantines. Working more than I should has always been one of my traits, but what I’ve been training for has been staying chill…
I know it’s December already. I’ve guessed you are saturated with all the Christmas recipes and desserts and gift guides. So I thought I may offer you something completely different. Because, you know, we eat every day, and Christmas it’s just a couple of weeks of celebrating. Why am I saying all this? Because I have a light, healthy and uncomplicated recipe for those days “in-between” the festivities. Just one thing, don’t worry if you can’t…
Whenever I’m lazy for breakfast I think…Avocado Toast. The same happens at lunch and…guess what’s for dinner? I usually have a meal plan for the week, but if everything goes wrong…Avocado Toast. I’ve made so many different versions of the so-called Avocado Toast that I just go with the flow. Lately I’ve been doing this recipe, but who knows what tomorrow brings. I’ve started calling them avotoasts. So, from now on, avotoasts it is. The base is always the same…half…
I started growing vegetables in my garden this year. I’ve never had the green thumb, but lately I feel like I’m better at growing my own food. Maybe it’s because I really enjoy cooking it 馃檪 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Si虂lvia Fooding 馃 Here for the food. (@silviafooding) In this video I uploaded to Youtube, you’ll see my first attempts on growing courgettes (aka zucchinis) Someone told me they are the easiest to grow, and…
Don’t you love how pretty colours are? I’ve always been fascinated by them. All of them. Since I was a little worm, I said my three favourite colours were blue, pink and yellow. Ain’t it funny how they are the only thing you need to create the rest of them? I’ve always been wise, even when I was ignorant of what primary colours were. Blue has always been an obsession in my life, though so whenever I have to choose…
You know, when people eat meat they usually go to meat when they feel lazy to cook. Anything easier than throwing a steak on a pan and cook it for a couple of minutes? When people go vegan, they go for the easiest substitutes like veggie patties or seitan steaks. They are usually highly processed foods, so that’s a no-no for me. When people go plant-based and want to follow a healthy lifestyle, they go for tofu or tempeh,…
Ain’t it funny how life works? Usually I plan my blog posts. I think about a recipe and then I get ready to take the photos and make more than one crappy iphone pic in order to edit them afterwards and create a nice blog post for you guys and gals to read. Well, life is teaching us lessons all the time, I’m learning about forgetting about anticipation. People don’t mind how much time you spent doing something, they like…
My mum used to make a zucchini soup recipe that I loved. I still do, so I cook it that way almost every time I make zucchini soup. But this time I really wanted to do a different zucchini soup. Because, you all know that feeling of realizing you’ve been making the same stuff over and over again. Although you like making the same things, you also crave that feeling of going out of the habit and doing something different….
